Commercial Description:
Brewed only once a year with fresh hops hand-picked in Longmont, CO and Warrior hops straight off the vine from Yakima, WA.
Warrior is brewed using a unique style called “Wet Hopping,” which requires only hops that are no more than a day from the vine. “Wet Hopping” imparts only a mild aroma, but an exceptionally fresh unfiltered hop flavor.

22 oz bottle. Poured a clear orange color. Head was thick and off white with good retention and lacing. Aroma is a nice fusion of citrusy hop, flower blossom, and malty caramel. Dry on the tongue with moderate hop bitterness. Flavors followed the aroma. Little bit of caramel, some grassy hops, and light citrus.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a big head and plenty of lacing. Nose was lightly grapefruit and hop florality. Flavor was bitter but balanced with some residual sweetness and a dash of malting. I was glad this was a bomber as I could enjoy a 2nd glass of this brew. I really liked this one alot. Thanks to ogglethorp for this bottle.

Bottle I bought in TX! I took it to Oddeds to share with him as he had LA Judgement Day. We both liked this better! Nose of very hoppy pine with a bit of caramel; Slightly hazy copper with a medium, longlasting, glasslacing, straw colored head; Flavor was very hoppy but not super bitter. I liken it to Hopsicle!

good ipa, fruity aroma, fresh hops, green from the wethoppiness, very good and resiny, I think this is one of my first wet hopped beers and you can notice the freshness of the green hops, ads a dimension of complexity, fun and good...

22oz bottle (thanks to Jrob_21) poured a clear copper color with a nice off white head. Aroma was floral citrus hops with sweet caramel and some grapefruit tones. Taste was very well balanced with a good hop and malt profile. Easily the best fresh hop beer I have had.

(bottle): Pours a humongous head, clear amber body, with a foamy peachish colored head, good lacing. Very hoppy grapefruity aroma. Fresh smelling. Spices like pungent flowers, very hoppy smelling, with some sweetness balance. Dry hoppy tatse, bitter aftertaste. Some sweet, but mostly bitterness. Piney, grapefruity.Okay for an IPA. Unbalanced bitterness as it warms up.

Pours a dark copper...mild malty and floral almost candy-like malts...thin layering of resting foam...initial sip is good, nice hops but there is no finish , no backbone...a very simple and un-balanced IPA
